Woke!

Event Type:

Exhibition

Facility:

Contemporary Art Museum

Presented By:

USF Institute for Research in Art

Description:

Woke! brings together recent work by William Villalongo and Mark Thomas Gibson, artists and the curators of Black Pulp!. The term "woke" is contemporary American vernacular terminology for acute
awareness, particularly in reference to the socio-political contexts we inhabit. Woke! presents works made over the past two years, a time when the influence of the hyper-visuality of police violence
upon Black bodies and the cultural currents of the Black Lives Matter movement informed new narratives in their practice. Woke! is organized by USF Contemporary Art Museum
